By
Turkish Bagel
Ingredients:
· One cup of warm water
1,5 tsbp of powder or instant yeast
the thing is when you use instant yeast you do not have to wait it to swell up in warm water!
· 1 table spoon salt (if you want, you can add more )
· 1 teaspoon sugar
· All-purpose flour
· Roasted sesame (You can roast your sesame by yourself in a Teflon pan)
· Grape molasses + water
Direction:
1. In a large bowl, put your warm water first and add yeast and powder sugar and stir them up. At least five minutes you need to wait to get them rise. When you see it is bubbling it means that yeast is ready. (yeasting temperature is the temperature that your little finger can stand in it )
2. After mixture get bubbling, add salt and flour. Flour should be in the amount that makes the dough a little stronger than earlobe.
3. We need to cover the top of the bowl to make the dough yeasting.
4. Then take some pieces as large as an egg and roll it in your palm. Next step is giving it a stick shape and then braid shape and bring two ends together.
5. Put your bagel in a clean area and wait a little to get it yeast and apply the mixture of grape molasses and water on it.
6. And apply your roasted sesames on both front and back sides of your bagels.
7. The last step is putting them in a oiled tray and put the tray in a 450F oven heated before and cook them 20 minutes. If you want their top in red, it is enough to wait two minutes in the broil.

Afiyet Olsun!

Sezen Aksu Songs in Florida

By
On a night illuminated by melodies, the SAC comedy lab transformed into a haven of Turkish music in Orlando, as the notes of Sezen Aksu's iconic songs reverberated through the hearts of approximately 100 attendees. The concert, graced by the award-winning singer and kemenche player Aslıhan Erkisi, alongside the world-renowned Armenian oud player and composer Ara Dinkjian, was a symphony of culture, emotion, and collective memory. As Aslıhan Erkisi's voice soared through the opening lines of "Vazgeçtim," you could feel a wave of emotion wash over the crowd. The poignant lyrics, coupled with her expressive delivery, brought many to the edge of tears, as each word seemed to echo their own tales of resignation and poignant reflection. The atmosphere shifted with "Aldatildik," as the audience, now emboldened by the stirring music, joined Aslıhan in a chorus that filled the room. Her ability to engage the audience, inviting them to become a part of the performance...

“Ey zahit şaraba eyle ihtiram”

By
  This poem titled “Ey zahit şaraba eyle ihtiram” was written by the Bektaşi poet Neyzen Tevfik. Neyzen Tevfik, who lived between 1879-1953, is known as a poet and neyzen (reed flute player) influenced by the Sufi and Bektaşi traditions. In his poems, he addresses the social and religious issues of his time using a critical and ironic language. In the poem, Neyzen Tevfik uses wine symbolically from a Sufi perspective to emphasize the processes of inner maturation and spiritual perfection. In Sufi literature, wine often represents the love of Allah and spiritual intoxication. The poet criticizes the zahit (pious person), conveying that achieving true spiritual maturity is not possible through prohibiting wine but through inner experience and understanding. The poem explores the human spiritual journey and maturation from a mystical and Sufi point of view.
